Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 4 cloves of minced garlic, ¼ cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice, and ½ cup of extra virgin olive oil. Add 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1 teaspoon of ground coriander, 1 teaspoon of allspice, and salt and pepper to taste. Whisk thoroughly until all the ingredients are well blended, creating a fragrant marinade that embodies the essence of Lebanese Chicken.
- Take your chicken pieces and coat them generously in the marinade, ensuring every part is well-covered for maximum flavor absorption. Place the marinated chicken in a resealable plastic bag or a covered dish. Refrigerate it for at least 1 hour, though marinating overnight is ideal for deepening the flavors.
- While the chicken is marinating, preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F. If you're opting for baking instead, preheat your oven to 375°F.
- After marinating, remove the chicken from the fridge and shake off excess marinade. Place the chicken pieces on the grill or in a baking dish. Grill for 20-30 minutes, flipping the chicken halfway through, or bake until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Once cooked, let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes on a cutting board. Serve your delicious creation with warm pita bread, fragrant rice pilaf, or a fresh tabbouleh salad.
